Spinning paper towel holder

ABSTRACT

This is a freestanding countertop paper towel holder. The circular flat base is ringed with free spinning non-skid wheels, aligned tangentially to the base&#39;s round edge. When the next paper towel is pulled, the entire unit turns in place without sliding sideways. The tapered spindle holds the cardboard core of the paper towels securely so everything turns at once.

[0001] This free standing paper towel holder spins in place when the next paper towel is pulled.

[0002] The circular base is ringed with five or more non-skid wheels turning on axles which are the radii of the base's center. In other words, the spinning wheels remain tangent to the round base. The roll of paper towels fits over the spindle and is held fast by the tapered spindle. 

1. I claim this paper towel holder makes the roll of towels an integral part of the unit by virtue of the tapered spindle, which holds the cardboard core securely and the non-skid wheels around the base turn on radii of spindle making the unit spin in place.
